The Splash Package from the 90s is back, and it lands right at home on the new Ford Ranger!
by Alina Moore, on LISTEN 01:34Ford offered the "Splash" package for the first time back in the 1990s when it was offered as an update for the Ranger pickup. Then, in June, 2021, the company trademarked the name again and initial rumors said it will be used for an electric pickup. Turns out those rumors were false, as the Splash is offered once again as an update package for the 2022 Ranger.

What does the Ranger Splash Package offer?
First of all, you need to know that Splash will be offered both as a package, but also as a limited edition.
The package will be offered for the entire production run of the 2022 model year, while the limited edition Splash will only be offered for a few months, with only a few hundreds being built.
Just like the pack offered back in the 1990s, the 2022 Splash Package will include a special orange paint combined with black elements applied on the grille, bumpers, rearview mirror caps, wheel lip moldings, and fender vents. The wheels, special 18-inch 12-spoke wheels, will also be finished in matte black.
As for the interior, it will be finished in black combined with orange contrast stitching and unique carbon grain with tuxedo stripes. If you opt for the Lariat version, you will also get leather seats. The new Splash package will be priced at $1,495, and it will be offered starting at the end of 2021.
Ford Ranger fans, the Splash™ is back. The much-loved special appearance package from the 1990s is making a comeback, reimagined for today and starting with the 2022 Ford Ranger Splash™ Package.
“Ranger customers love to personalize their trucks – more than 80% customize their Ranger with an appearance package – and with Splash, we’re giving them something exclusive,” said Chad Callandar, Ford Ranger marketing manager. “Every few months, we’re going to roll out another exterior color for Ranger that will be offered one time only and in very limited quantities.”
Splash will come in two styles, the Splash Package and Splash™ Limited Edition. The Splash Package will be available all model year and comes with body-side orange and black graphics and special 18-inch 12-spoke wheels finished in matte black. Ranger Splash includes orange grille nostrils, plus gloss black accents on the grille, bumpers, rearview mirror caps, wheel lip moldings and fender vents. The interior features exclusive seats with orange contrast stitching and unique carbon grain with tuxedo stripes – leather-trimmed in Lariat. Orange contrast stitching also appears on the steering wheel, gear shifter and parking brake boot. Lariat models get orange accent stitching on front and rear armrests and on the dash top.
The Splash Package can be combined with the FX2 or FX4 Package to add more off-road capability to its distinctive looks.
Ford will also bring a fresh dash of color by revealing Splash Limited Edition trucks every few months in a series of one-time-only hues with just a few hundred vehicles available. It also features 18-inch matte black wheels and a unique combination of exterior and interior content and finishes. The Splash – Snow Edition kicks off the first batch.
Ranger Splash Package will be available for SuperCrew models optioned in XLT and Lariat trim series, priced at $1,495 with deliveries starting at the end of the year. Ranger is proudly built at Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan.
